Episode 103 - Erin Diehl [Improvisational Trainer]

This interview with Erin was a ton of fun. We met in her office in Chicago and chatted for a good hour about her journey and what is currently going on in her life. She is a great storyteller as well as being hilarious. Erin is also very smart and has taken action to pursue growing her company which is doing extremely well. Sit back and listen as Erin discusses what "no risks ... no champagne" means, the impact that improv has had on her career and why we must embrace the failure. Enjoy!
